Instructions:
1. Begin by boiling the tomatillos, jalapeños, and serrano peppers in a liter of water over medium heat for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until the peppers are well cooked.
2. Once cooked, remove from heat and allow them to cool slightly before transferring the tomatillos and peppers to a blender.
3. Add into the blender 3-4 cups of water, cilantro, onion quarter, garlic clove, teaspoon of salt, black pepper, cloves, and a pinch of cumin. Blend the ingredients to create a smooth green sauce.
4. In a saucepan, heat two tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, pour in the green sauce to fry it, stirring occasionally. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, adjusting the salt to taste if needed.
5. Add the pork rinds to the sauce. Stir to ensure that the pork rinds are well coated with the sauce.
6. Lower the heat to medium-low, and let the pork rinds cook in the sauce for about 15 minutes.
7. After 15 minutes, the pork rinds in green sauce should be ready to serve. They can be enjoyed alone or in tacos made with flour or hand-made tortillas. The dish also pairs well with sides such as red rice and beans.
Cooking Tips:
- Make sure to adjust the spiciness level by adding or reducing the number of peppers according to your taste.
- Let the sauce fry well to enhance its flavors before adding the pork rinds.
